| Abstract | The second panel of proposed papers will analyse the dynastic marriages and their results, that is foreign queens and their positions in the Central European realms. Firstly, it will examine a matrimonial union accompanying the most important dynastic turn in medieval Poland. Then, it will pivot to the inspection of two queens, Anne of Foix and Elisabeth of Austria. Regardless of their origin or lifespan, they proved to be successful cultural and diplomatic agents, whose roles require much-needed re-assessment. The panel will not only expose networks leading to the marriages but also links and connections following these unions. |
